Ok, it works now. Using the recommended _Exit() function with
DMD 2.066 on Linux.
Thanks you all for your help!

On a side note, i've created daemons like this before but then i
found a rather nice posix system call to do it all for me:
extern (C)
{
/**
* The daemon() function is for programs wishing to detach
themselves
* from the controlling terminal and run in the background as
system
* daemons.
*
* (This function forks, and if the fork(2) succeeds, the parent
calls
* _exit(2), so that further errors are seen by the child only.)
On
* success daemon() returns zero. If an error occurs, daemon()
returns
* -1 and sets errno to any of the errors specified for the
fork(2) and
* setsid(2).
*
* Params:
* nochdir = If nochdir is zero, daemon() changes the
calling process's
* current working directory to the root directory ("/");
otherwise,
* the current working directory is left unchanged.
* noclose = If noclose is zero, daemon() redirects standard
input,
* standard output and standard error to /dev/null;
otherwise, no
* changes are made to these file descriptors.
*/
int daemon(int nochdir, int noclose);
}
This is a lot easier to use. :)
